Found another particularly relevant one, BMW trio at 0:53 and again at 1:29, including a touring and a turbo. As well as a cabrio with some wheelspin at 1:18.

Actually I recommend checking out the whole channel, frightened fred, lots of cool older clips.

Like this golf 02

Found this video on youtube, has some 02 content as well as other older BMWs. Like what appears to be a hot rodded Glas coupe hitting the wall at 22:18 in the video.

Or maybe I'll just stick to the rear bumper videos and you'll never know

It's a tii engine with a weber 38 and some head work, and maybe it makes a difference that it has a foam air filter.

Don't worry all, once I decide on the spotlight mounting I'll clean up the wiring, maybe...

For sticking a go pro onto

I have federal 595 tires in 185/60r13, they still have the size listed on their website but I am not able to find anyone actually selling them. They seem pretty good to me, and I find them to fit well on e21 specification 6jx13 et13 wheels with a lowered car, so it doesn't rub even with hard cornering, I had 185/70r13 previously and it rubbed braking and turning.

When I got them I think they were somewhere around $60 per tire, I think they're pretty good for the price if you can find them.

I don't have any info on good calipers, but I ordered Cardone 19-226 and 19-227 calipers last year or the year before, the front calipers for the tii, 3.0si, etc. And I noticed that even though they claimed to be rebuilt they did not have any ATE or any other company markings on them. They just had the 19-226 19-227 cardone specific part numbers cast into them.

I was not happy with the quality of the calipers, the two halves didn't line up properly like they were the wrong shape. They were a good enough price that I kept them for the pins and springs and pistons though. If the ones you ordered are similar it may be a problem with Cardone calipers being "rebuilt" but not actually being rebuilt original calipers.

Also some other interesting info since we're on the topic, the factories in the article are in Sweden and Austria I think

"In 2020, renewable energy sources made up 37% of gross electricity consumption in the EU"

"Among the EU Member States, more than 70% of electricity consumed in 2020 was generated from renewable sources in Austria (78%) and Sweden (75%). The generation of electricity from renewable sources was also high and accounted for more than half of the electricity consumed in Denmark (65%), Portugal (58%), Croatia and Latvia (both 53%)."

Meanwhile in the USA

"In 2020, renewable energy sources accounted for about 12.6% of total U.S. energy consumption"

 Info from the two companies mentioned in the press release, in case anyone is interested in reading, I think some of you don't realize how far ahead of the US they are in some european countries in terms of renewable energy and sustainability.

"In traditional steel making, reduction of iron ore is done by heating it together with coal, utilizing a chemical reaction that separates the oxygen from the iron, forming and emitting CO2. In our production, green hydrogen reacts with iron ore similarly to carbon, resulting in the extraction of oxygen. But instead of creating CO2, the main by-product is H2O. "

"

Giga-scale electrolysis

"Our DR reactor refines iron ore to direct-reduced iron (DRI). This is done by exposing iron ore to hydrogen, which reacts with the oxygen in the ore to form steam as a residual. Using our green hydrogen produced in our electrolysis for reduction instead of coal, typically used in integrated steel plants, allows us to reduce CO2 emissions from the reduction process by more than 95 percent.

Hydrogen can be produced by means of electrolysis. In this chemical reaction, water is split into its components hydrogen and oxygen by means of electricity. It is beyond doubt for us that the electricity required for this must come from renewable energies such as wind power. For the production of green hydrogen, we erected seven wind turbines on our Group premises in Salzgitter under the project name "WindH₂ - Wind Hydrogen Salzgitter", together with Avacon Natur GmbH. The green electricity generated by these plants is used to produce green hydrogen by means of PEM electrolysis.

Another electrolysis is being operated as part of the GrInHy2.0 project. The high-temperature electrolyzer is the largest of its kind in the world and operates highly efficiently. Unlike PEM electrolysis, the GrInHy2.0 electrolyzer uses steam from industrial waste heat from steel production. Both plants can cover today's hydrogen demand for annealing processes and for steel refining, thus displacing gray hydrogen generated from natural gas from our production. However, the quantity required for this is only a fraction of the hydrogen needed for SALCOS^® implementation."

Another factor is that craigslist started charging $5 for by owner car classified ads sometime in the last few years. I find more classic cars listed on facebook marketplace nowadays, especially cars on the lower end of the condition chart.

Based on the part number it looks like the injectors are for a 911, I saw someone do a similar thing I think with bosch injectors from an old mercedes, the picture is the same part number as yours, they took those and put a threaded adapter on the tip. But the ones for the mercedes had a much lower opening pressure than the tii's injectors so I don't have confidence it would work as well as original. A quick search says the 911 has an opening pressure of ~250psi I don't know if thats correct for all 911's or for those injectors specifically.

For the tii injectors I just use two wrenches/sockets to split the top from the bottom, then the part in the beginning of the video you posted can be lightly tapped out from the bottom half of the injector body. Then you just have to take the little bridge out from the spring and the spring and pintle part comes out.

Very nice video and car,  her şey çok güzel

I've used the websites shipnerd and shipnex which are like shipping brokers to get wheels from North Carolina to California for less than $100 shipped by fedex or UPS  when on their own sites they quoted more like $200. You just put all the shipping info in their site and they give you a label from one of the companies. You just don't know which one its going to be before you get it.

edit: and I mean a set of all 4 15x7 inch wheels

No, this is not BS.  Here in Los Angeles and Southern California in general 356s and 912s were not uncommon as very affordable and used old sport cars which could be found in solid and running condition for $2,500 - $3,500. Several of my friends purchased them as their first cars. And, they were all from "Blue Collar" working class families.  At the time I purchased my 68 1600 for $500 and drove it home. Both, my friend with the 356  and I commuted to UCLA, located on the West side of Los Angeles, from Burbank and back, a 40 mile round trip in some heavy traffic. To circumvent the traffic we found curvy routes through the hills. And, we took turns driving while carpooling, one day I would drive my 1600, and the next day it was the 356. This was 1983 - 89. 

 

In 1984 I answered an add in the "Recycler" where a gentleman in Pasadena, CA was selling two 1600GTs for $4,000. One of the cars in Granada Red, was really clean, mint. While the Turf Green parts car was complete, but rough. These cars are selling for over $125K,now. They were dirt cheap back then. 

 

I've been contributing to this board since 2005. 99.9% of  my posts have nothing to do with complaints and "Rants". But, recently I have started complaining and focusing on the exponential increase in prices relating to these cars and associated parts. I've been driving and working on these cars for 40 years. The opportunists have descended on this hobby. And, they are attempting to charge exorbitant prices for the simplest of parts associated with these cars. 

 

 

While your anecdotes may be true things that happened to you, I just went and looked in some old roundel magazines from 1983 and most of the 2002s and tiis ranged in asking price from $5000 to $8000, with a few really heavily modded ones asking up to $18000. When you convert that to 2021 dollars that is a range of $13,733.28 to $21,973.25, and $49,439.82 respectively. The e3s and e9s also were in the mid to upper teens for asking prices also putting them around $40000 - $50000.

And the $2500 to $3500 sports cars that you mention would be equivalent to $6,866.64 - $9,613.30, not to say that's not cheap but a college kid spending the equivalent of $10k on a car is not necessarily cheap wheels.

I don't like or agree with all the current prices either, but just because the numbers were lower in the past doesn't necessarily mean they were that much cheaper, sometimes they were sometimes they weren't.

904 name or not, I don't know if you know how ebay works but you can ask whatever price you want.

Ah, this car again

I have seen them for sale on ebay, i don't know if people actually buy them or not.

I bought one from walloth nesch recently when it was on sale, I think it was less than $150 with the discount I'm not sure what the normal price is.

Where did you buy these? Missed on this sale may look to buy new.

I bought them on ebay in 2014 from 18racing a few months after the group order happened which I missed, I bought them from 18racing which I think was the company that the group on the faq did the group order through.

The descriptions on bring a trailer often seem to not read very well, and sometimes focus on weird things. But I think the pictures show the quality of the car really well and definitely use the comments section to your advantage like jp5Touring suggested.

The recent highest selling Bavaria on bring a trailer seemed good with nice paint and interior but a bit of light rust underneath and the seller was able to get  a really high selling price telling their story in the comments of how the the 14k or whatever low mileage on the odometer was original according to them. Even though it wasn't in the official listing and they didn't have good paper trail proof. Just a story about how their brother had the car and got it from the original family and they parked it in the 70s because the sunroof didn't work or something like that.

When you sell on bring a trailer I believe they write the description for you is that correct? I feel like it could be written better but where the description is lacking I think the pictures make up for it.

Like this part :

"This example was factory finished in Fjord Blue and is said to have been glass-bead blasted, epoxy primed, and repainted in two stages. "

To me that says the current seller doesn't know for sure what the repainting process was, because of the "is said to have been"

It also says its 40 pages, sold for $15

Happened to see this old listing on ebay, there were only these 2 pictures so who knows what else was in there.

It looks like an official kugelfischer pump manual. Anyone have a digital copy?
